Summary:
Odell CCSD 435 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one elementary school, Odell Grade School. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is located in the rural community of Odell. While the school benefits from smaller class sizes and higher per-student spending, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
Odell Grade School has a statewide ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools and a below-average 2 out of 5 star performance rating from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates in core subjects like ELA and Math are significantly lower than the state average, with only about a quarter of students meeting or exceeding standards in these areas. However, the school's science proficiency rates are closer to the state average. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 40% of its population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's resource advantages, such as smaller class sizes and higher per-student spending, its academic outcomes have not reflected these benefits. This suggests the need for the Odell CCSD 435 district to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement at Odell Grade School.
